After the fall of the Vijayanagara Empire, Kempe Gowda declared independence, and the city was expanded by his successors. In 1638 CE, a <a href="/wiki/Adil_Shahi" class="mw-redirect" title="Adil Shahi">Adil Shahi</a> army defeated Kempe Gowda III, and the city became a <a href="/wiki/Jagir" title="Jagir">jagir</a> (feudal estate) of <a href="/wiki/Shahaji_Bhonsle" class="mw-redirect" title="Shahaji Bhonsle">Shahaji Bhonsle</a>.
